[WEB SECURITY] Hardware for logging network requests

[J Joensuu <j_joensuu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am interested of tracing network activity between my
computer(s) and the internet, and have been thinking
about setting up a box between the computer and the
DSL router. The box would intercept all TCP/IP
requests and log them to a text file; the idea is to
later go through the text file to determine the
presense of any rootkits on the computer.

Does anyone know of a tool (in effect a small piece of
hardware) that can be plugged between two network
devices to collect a list of of all TCP/IP traffic? It
would be cool if this device had some form of storage
onto which it logged the traffic (e.g. in form of a
text file). This would allow me to avoid setting up a
computer for this purpose.

Thanks in advance,
